Abstract The Internet of Things based smart bins with IR sensors which measure the level of dustbin being filled up. The container is divided into three levels of garbage being collected on it. Every time the garbage crosses a level the sensors receives the data of the fill level. This data is further sent to the garbage analyzer as instant message and view in the webpage. However, three sensors can be employed at different heights like h/3, 2h/3 and h, where h is the height of the bin, and it is used to measure the different level of wastage in the smart bin. Threshold distance is the difference in height at which sensor is placed and the level of garbage fill. Once the garbage level exceeds the threshold value, the corresponding information sent to the garbage collection unit and updated in the webpage via WI-FI module. The user can also know the status of the garbage level of the smart bin at any time by sending the query through the webpage, and the status of the particular smart bin will be displayed on the webpage.
